The Argentina national team is one of the most titled teams in the world. Wherever the team plays, it is always among favorites and shows danger to opponents, being always ready to leave defense and start attacking.
Diego Maradona and Gabriel Batistuta are among the most famous players of the team. Maradona established the reputation as a highly qualified attacker, but he was disqualified for abusing drugs. Still the legend managed the squad from 2008 to 2010.
An interesting fact about the team is that prior to 1928 Argentina didn’t play anywhere but South America. The team participated in the first World Cup in 1930 in Uruguay. Argentina won the World Cup twice beating the Netherlands in 1978 at home and in 1986 when it beat West Germany in Mexico.
Argentina football team has a nickname La Albiceleste (The White and Sky Blue).
Alejandro Sabella is the head coach. Gabriel Batistuta has been the team’s best goal-scorer for a long time; he successfully hit the opponent’s gates 56 times. Javier Zanetti is the leader in the number of games having played 145 games.
